Climb

B​right city lights beam into the sky

C​hoking the heroine’s brilliance

T​he world is rushing to beat the loneliness

A​nd yet she is standing still.

I​t’s easier to disassociate than feel the weight of it all.

A​nd so she climbs

H​igher and higher

The questions fade away

R​eplaced by a symbiotic harmony

As ​she lays her head her body follows

Her sight aimed towards the burg

I​ntentions whispered in the air

L​eave behind a trail of smoke

H​er fingers dance in its wake.

T​he second hand ticks

H​er ears refuse to listen

S​he knows she’ll have to leave this sanctum

L​et it house another story

J​ust a few minutes more

A​nd she’ll force herself to rise.

She’ll find her place inside the web

S​tuck once again

U​ntil she starts to climb.

I'd love to hear what you think! Do you need to climb and hide away sometimes?
